Chapter 44: Ice and Fire Refining Body, Diamond Indestructible

Having previously endured the pain of refining ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, Davis found that refining the medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was now as easy as slicing vegetables.

As time passed, Davis's soul power steadily increased. After just an hour, his soul power had broken through level 50, officially making him a quasi-Soul King.

After three full hours, all the medicinal energy from the chrysanthemum had been refined. His soul power improved further, though he couldn't extract it without obtaining a fifth spirit ring.

Not only had his soul power risen, but his tendons, bones, meridians, dantian, and even blood had all been strengthened.

While he hadn't yet reached the fabled Diamond Indestructible level, his physical condition was now several times stronger than before.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dugu Bo had already finished absorbing the ten-thousand-year poison-type torso bone. At this moment, he was concentrating on pulling the toxins from his entire body into the soul bone while activating its skill to condense the snake venom into an even stronger form.

His strength had improved significantly, and there were signs that his soul power had broken through level 92. In fact, Dugu Bo should have reached this level long ago through his own cultivation, but had been forced to use his power to suppress his body's venom. Now, with the poison transferred into the soul bone and the addition of a new soul bone, he could finally break through the bottleneck.

> "Since the old poison man hasn't woken up yet, I'll continue taking immortal herbs."

Looking at the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Jiaoshu growing on either side of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Davis made a decision.

Even after taking the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Davis was still not completely immune to poison. If he absorbed these two immortal herbs, his body would become even more impervious—possibly immune to all toxins.

Even Dugu Bo's potent snake venom would pose no threat to him.

Although taking multiple immortal herbs in quick succession would reduce their individual effects, Davis decided it was still worth it. After all, even if they were wasted, it was better than leaving them to that little punk.

Having made up his mind, Davis picked both herbs and swallowed them whole.

> "Ugh—!"

The moment the two herbs entered his stomach, Davis groaned in pain. Two opposing energies—one of extreme cold and one of intense heat—began raging violently inside him.

It felt like thousands of rats were gnawing away at his insides, tearing at his organs. Cold sweat poured down his face.

> "Good grief... I didn't expect the medicinal strength of these two to be so insane…"

Unable to endure it, Davis let himself fall directly into the spring water of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. With a loud splash, he submerged himself, meditating silently to refine the herbs while drawing in the ice-cold Yin spring and fiery Yang spring energies.

He had assumed that the spring water would relieve the pain—but it turned out the real nightmare had only just begun.

The twin spiritual energies of extreme cold and heat sensed a new host and violently surged into his body. Davis's capillaries were torn open as the medicinal power forcibly entered through every pore.

It felt like every part of him was being torn apart.

> This was like a girl's first time, except Davis wasn't suffering once—

He was experiencing the pain a thousand times over.

His blood boiled and froze alternately, and his body was being pushed to the limit.

In the past, even that little punk couldn't withstand this kind of pain and had fainted immediately upon entering the spring.

But Davis was different. He was older, his body was fully developed, and—most importantly—he had previously consumed ten-thousand-year whale glue and other exotic materials to reinforce his body. His physical strength was now ten times that of a normal person.

So even though the pain was excruciating, he didn't pass out. He remained conscious—though barely.

> "Should I be crying or laughing right now…"

Davis stopped letting his mind wander and focused all his attention on absorbing the spring water's energy.

> "This Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was said to have formed from the decaying corpses of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings after death.

Their dragon bones should still lie beneath the spring.

> It's said the two dragon kings had reached the God King level when alive. Even after tens of millions of years, their bones should still rival those of top-tier soul beasts."

The thought sparked a bold idea in Davis's mind:

> "If I can absorb the energy of this Yin-Yang Eye and inherit the dragon kings' power...

Could I break through level 100 and become a god?"

Time passed slowly.

Thanks to his prior ingestion of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, his body refined medicinal power more efficiently.

Within just two hours, the pain was completely gone.

To him now, the Cold Yin Spring was just cold water, and the Fiery Yang Spring was merely hot water. He could soak in it indefinitely without discomfort.

In fact, the two opposing energies helped him—accelerating his blood circulation and boosting his absorption efficiency.

> "So this is the legendary Ice and Fire Body Refinement...

My physical strength has grown again."

Clenching his fists and sensing the power coursing through his veins, Davis was overjoyed.

He was now immune to all poison, and also to extreme cold and heat. Just like Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, he now possessed elemental resistance.

> "Perfect. Now for the final step!"

Delighted with the results, Davis took out the last immortal herb: the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

He swallowed it in a few large bites, then returned to the center of the spring and used the spring's spiritual energy to aid in refining its essence.

This time, he felt no pain at all—just a pleasant numbness that filled his whole body.

At the same time, he could feel the earth attribute energy of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon dissolving inside him and fusing with his Martial Spirit.

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger had always possessed a strong gold attribute. With earth generating gold, the power from this herb was clearly improving the quality of his Martial Spirit, pushing it toward evolution.

It was just like how Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after taking the Qiluo Tulip.

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger was already a top-tier beast spirit. If it evolved again, could it become a god-level Martial Spirit?

While Davis was refining the melon, Dugu Bo finally opened his eyes with joy.

> "Hahahaha! Excellent! I no longer need to suffer from poison! Hahahaha!"

A powerful pressure exploded from Dugu Bo's body. He had now reached level 92 and become a true Titled Douluo—far stronger than before.
